The name “Razmena (eng.”Exchange”) represents the motivation for realizing the festival which came from the need for connecting with students of other academies and art faculties from the entire world who are also involved in film. The desire to learn about the work of our colleagues and young filmmakers is the basis idea of the concept of the festival.
